The group meets weekly; for more information, contact Frets Halligan at 992-3535 or looseuke@gmail.com.

Rockland’s Ukes Rock strumming group is taking a break until the end of the month, resuming its weekly sessions Tuesday, Sept. 30, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Rockland Main Street, Inc. Office, second floor (Suite 203) of 417 Main St. (above In Good Company). For more information, call 542-4452.
